Yeah, the states spend some money on defense and the federal government spends some money on education, but to claim that the federal government has the same responsibility for education as the states is a gross and stupid distortion of reality. To even talk about this that way is so dumb, it makes my brain hurt.
- D9u 14y agoI find it reprehensible to ignore the fact that the federal government spends so little on education in relation to other expenditures. There is no "gross and stupid distortion of reality" in believing that our federal government should be doing more to facilitate education. Why is there a federal Department of Education? To fund education! When the federal government reduces education allotments to the states, the entire nation suffers as a result. http://www.economist.com/node/15330604 http://www.economist.com/node/15330604 http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_edu_spe_as_per_of_tot_gov_exp-education-spending-total-government-expenditure http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_edu_spe_as_per_of_tot_...
